This is an interesting and thoughtful story about what it means to be a parent and the importance of our biological ties versus the bonds that are solidified through the long, hard work of caregiving. The ending is a bit like if Jodi Piccoult and M. Night Shyamalan had a baby, and I'm still trying to decide how I feel about it, but ultimately, I guess it works.
